Julian Strawther

Strawther last appeared in a game on November 15 and has surpassed 20 minutes just once in nine appearances this season. His absence does not affect fantasy basketball, even with Christian Braun (ankle) sidelined.

Strawther's continued absence does not impact fantasy basketball, as he is not guaranteed rotation minutes when healthy. Bruce Brown and Tim Hardaway Jr. will continue to play the minutes available to Denver's reserve perimeter players.

Due to lower back injury management, Strawther will miss a fourth consecutive game. His absence does not affect fantasy basketball, but it means even more playing time will be available to Peyton Watson and Bruce Brown.

Initially questionable for Monday's game, Strawther is officially out. However, his absence coincides with Cameron Johnson's return, so the Nuggets will have the options needed to account for Strawther not playing. He does not impact fantasy basketball when healthy.

Strawther has appeared on the Nuggets' injury report on multiple occasions due to lower back pain, with this being the most recent instance. Even with Christian Braun (ankle) out for 6-8 weeks, Strawther is unlikely to get the minutes needed to achieve fantasy relevance if he's cleared to play.
